Without Z, Y translates to:

  1. If Y --> Z

  2. If Z --> Y

  3. If ~Y --> Z

  4. If ~Z --> ~Y

The correct answer is: If ~Z --> ~Y

Without Z being present, Y implies that Z is not true. This relationship is expressed in the correct answer choice, "If ~Z --> ~Y." This statement means that if Z is not true (~Z), then Y is also not true (~Y). This logic aligns with the given scenario where the absence of Z affects the presence of Y.
